Are you the sort of flexible DevOps engineer we are looking for? Then consider joining our team. What we're trying to do is stretch to cover the space between our amazing team of developers and our committed team of operations engineers. We need someone to bounce between the two teams and bring code from devs to production, and production issues into a tested format for the developers to fix.
